Shrine of Our Lady of Europe
Shrine of Our Lady of Europe, Catholic shrine at Europa Point, Gibraltar
The Shrine of Our Lady of Europe stands at the southernmost point of Gibraltar, featuring a wooden statue of the Virgin Mary with Child.
The shrine originated from a mosque conversion in 1462 after Gibraltar returned to Spanish control, marking a transition from Islamic to Christian worship.
The shrine serves as a central location for Catholic worship in Gibraltar, with regular masses and devotional ceremonies throughout the year.
Visitors can access the shrine daily through Europa Road, with parking facilities available near the building entrance.
The statue of Our Lady holds a scepter decorated with three flowers representing Love, Truth, and Justice, following medieval symbolism.
